    Greetings,
    All options will be costly including doing nothing. For some areas doing nothing will result in inundation and total loss.

    If you don’t go along with the current narrative or have a different view you get shut down for being a conspiracy theorist. It’s their only defence because they can’t prove that their theory is right.

    Well that’s your opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.

    Tahr..

    I am not satisfied that the numbers of fires, the numbers of tornados, the numbers of natural disasters, the numbers of deaths from any or all has at all increased.

    I suggest you read Steven Pinker's book called "Enlightenment Now" as a study into the role that sensationalist media has had in promoting the perception of doom and gloom across the board in all areas of our lives. The distortion between reality and what is perception across all manner of KPI is unlikely to not have had a similar effect in the area of the climate debate.

    There are always issues. But as Pinker illuminates over the last 70 years most of the human experience has improved markedly to a factor of about 10 fold on what the reality was 70 years ago and yet the perception today is almost the complete inverse.

    There are no more tornados, hurricanes, fires and flooding than were have ever been. There are less deaths from natural disasters currently than in the past 5-7 decades. The sea is not lapping at our doorsteps unless it always did. Fires might be more intense due to more availability of fuel on our greener planet - (a combination of a retarded bureaucracy not allowing fuel removal from populated areas and increased plant material from a reduction in wood burning, and increased CO2), but the actual number of fires is no more significant.

    Watch that all change when they stop coal. Currently we have more trees on the planet than at any time in the last 200 years. Great fuel when you can't dig coal.

    I remember Tahr making a comment about the Labour Party saying they will be in for 3 terms so we may as well get used to it!. People have opinions, doesn’t mean they are right, no matter how many fancy words they use.

    Almost as astounding to me is those among you who want to sideline this info without even having a look for themselves.

    Ask anyone who's lived in china about cloud seeding/weather manipulation
    tahrs quip about them needing to hurry up sums up the level of thought given by most.
    We've all seen how readily just about entire populations do what they are told with no critical thought given,
    What do you think the purpose of weather manipulation is?
    Is it done to improve our lives or is it being done to forward an agenda?
    Why the hesitance to consider weather manipulation?
    Some of you are quite happy to accept "greta science" but ignore what happens in front of your faces.
    When you don't have all the information you can't make an informed decision.
    Your uninformed decisions affect all the rest of us.
    Control the weather, you control the food. Control the food, you control the people.
    I remember as a kid in the late sixties being told that the beeps we heard on the radio, similar to morse code, was the Russians trying to manipulate the weather.
    @Tahr I find it disheartening that most of the people your age group I know all say the same. They are all pleased they are at the latter end of life.
    I'm hoping I have quite a few years left. And I sure hope they improve compared to the last few.

    You might recall too that I qualified it by saying so long as Jacinda maintained her shine. That never happened. Words do matter.

    Cripes, it will take the rest of my life to fact check all of that I will look at Pinkers' book. It might be the therapy I need.

    Some of us do look up, quite often in fact. Thing is, it's different to the 'official" line.

    I'm OK with what other people believe in. Some people struggle with what others believe in and think it's their way or not at all. Not so OK with that. Dare I say it, one or the other party will be correct. I just don't think we will be around to see it....

    One tiny example: Somewhere in youtube land a couple of months ago I watched an article where the BBC weather presenter was talking up the apocalypse, pointing to all the 'extreme' temperatures all over Europe, and the colours of red and purple had been daubed all over the areas of 'extreme' temperature.

    Some enterprising soul dragged up the BBC's weather presentation back in the early 00's of the same calendar period of hot European summer, with all the colours benign, and many of the temperatures showing 1 to 2 degrees HOTTER than the temps being quoted as extreme for this season.

    Did you hear all the lies about the climate on TV1 news tonight!! They were contradicting the NZHS experts left right and centre. Ive put in a complaint to the Tribunal and want you XR500 and Sidney to appear as expert witnesses for me. Bring your YouTube links and books with you
